Pretty goood 😄😊course to regain confidence in C Programming and getting started for more, thank you for such a Humanly beautiful and humorous C course and do create and 'intermediate C crash course' so that after learning from this we could go there and learn more👍😁. This helped me revise so much, Thank you 😄🎇❣

[@PJSCode]

Thankyou dude I really appreciate it, I already subbed to you and gonna check out your other videos. o7

[@triambakeshwar8766]

You know, if you attach the timestamps to the description of the video, then KZbin would show different chapters at the side in a panel and also show the current playing chapter beside the volume bar in the video. Just my suggestion.

One nit at 58:18 - b gets the current value of a _and_ a is incremented, but there's no fixed order for those operations - b does not have to be assigned before a is incremented. Similarly for b = ++a, b gets the current value of a + 1 _and_ a is incremented, but there's no fixed order for those operations - a does not have to be incremented before the result is assigned to b. Depending on the architecture, those operations may even happen simultaneously. Sorry, it's just that this is something that consistently gets mis-taught - it's always assumed that the increment and assignment happen in a certain sequence, but they don't _have_ to. The operations are _unsequenced_ with respect to each other. Consequently, expressions like a[i] = i++ and a++ * a++ can give different results on different platforms. The language definition specifies that any expression that attempts to update an object more than once through the evaluation of an expression (a++ * a++), or tries to both update an object and use its value in a computation (a[i] = i++), result in _undefined behavior_ , meaning that the compiler and runtime environment are not required to handle the situation in any particular way.

Bought the BorderLand C/ C++ compiler at a computer show, in Morristown. Been using DJGCC and MS prior. Have to say, at the time Border Land compiled really quick and they had a Help telephone number you could call. Very nice.

Wow, this is the most in depth break down of C coding video, I've seen. Would have been a lot of help in my C programming class, lucky some non-computer science majors were also taking the course, helps with the scale. LMAO

I a little bit past halfway on this one, doing a little bit at a time. and it makes me excited to practice what i learn. so as a result I've learned and retained more in from like half of this 3 hour video than from my c class so far hahah thank you caleb! you are a really good teacher :)

at 1:40:02 i can not for the life of me understand what "error: variable-sized object may not be initialized except with an empty initializer" wants from me. I initialized the multi-dimensional array properly just like how it was done in the video and made the column a const variable. I tried to declare the matrix in one line of code and initialize it in another yet it didn't work, so i am pretty much stuck here (i tried to google it but it was to no avail). If anyone could offer help it will be much appreciated! *SOLVED* _Instead of typing "int const column = 4".. type "enum{ column = 4 }"._

Note on windows you can just enable subsystem for Linux to get Ubuntu and then use bash to do things in your windows file system through the mnt path.

Or just download Ubuntu on virtual machine. I don’t like the subsystem too much.

An amazing course Caleb. I am confident that I can now code in C too other than Python and C++ in which I could code earlier already. Looking forward to the 10 Hour course as well. Keep doing the amazing work mate.

[@DavidEvans_dle]

Great resource anyone taking a C programming course should definitely reference this.

[@xz7525]

Hi Caleb, before binging these lectures I'd evaded any association with the C-language family, as I'd held the heuristic it was beyond my conceptual realms (not coming from a core CS background). I really enjoyed your style of delivery!! Keep on throwing carrots out about extended concepts & then coming back to the reference later on...It kept my eyes on the horizon & searching for more... Keen to check out all your other work from hereon!! Cheers mate

[@valentijnbruggeman936]

Hey Caleb, i'm a complete noob to programming and just finished watching your course. Enjoyed watching and learning from you! The only improvement I could think of as a beginner would be writing out the definitions of the different syntaxes and spending a little more time explaining. I had/have a difficult time understanding what each new one means and I mean what it is at it's core. This could just be me wanting to understand something quickly that otherwise takes times and experience coding (in c). In any case a job well done and look forward to seeing new videos!

[@Hofer2304]

As with any language, use it! Write your own little programs. As you learned your native language, nobody said you its rules. Nobody wanted to hide the rules, but you couldn't understand it.

[@framepointer]

36:03 The sizeof operator returns a size_t, not an unsigned long. Before C99, the standard way of printing a size_t would be type-casting it to an unsigned long then using the %lu specifier. Starting C99, you just pass a size_t and the correct format specifier would be %zu.

[@MoonJumpMania]

@@codebreakthrough Alright thanks

[@johnbode5528]

TL/DR version - don't use void main(). Michener version - Unless your compiler documentation _explicitly_ lists void main() as a valid signature, the behavior will be _undefined_ . It may work. It may not. On most common server and desktop implementations it won't blow up, but you should (hopefully) get a diagnostic while compiling the code. I know of a couple of older, oddball systems that aren't used anymore where programs using void main() would either crash on exit or fail to load at all. Unfortunately, a lot of references (including K&R) use void main(), but strictly speaking it isn't correct and shouldn't be used. For a hosted implementation (basically, anything with an operating system), the standard signatures for main are int main( void ) and int main( int, char **). Use the first form when your program doesn't take any command line arguments, use the second form when it does.
